Thanksgiving and Christmas Decorating!

I can't believe Thanksgiving has already come and gone! We headed up to Rockwall for a few days. We got there on Wednesday night. Thursday we cooked up the turkey and all the fixin's! After we ate, we went over to Jeremy's aunt's house for dessert and the Cowboys game. While we were there we mapped out our plan of action for Black Friday. Jeremy and I went to Target early on Friday morning (well...8:00am early) and got a new coffee maker, and some towels for when we paint the bathroom! Then we headed to Northpark. We saw the trains, which was a lot of fun. It really wasn't as crowded as I thought it would be. We left to come back home on Saturday.

We got out Christmas decorations and decorated the inside of the house on Sunday. I have always said that when we got a house, I wanted to have the Christmas tree in the front window, so people can see it when they drive by. Well Jeremy wanted a real Christmas tree, and wanted it in the living room because we never go in our dining room (the room that faces the front). So we put our fake tree up in the dining room.

This past Saturday we went and picked out our real tree! It was a lot of fun! Here is our real tree all decorated in the Living room.

My grandparents sent us a beautiful wreath from Maine! It smells sooo good.

And in the middle of all of that, my wonderful husband celebrated his 27th birthday! He was originally going to have to judge All-Region Band auditions on his birthday, BUT it decided to SNOW in Houston on that day, so they cancelled the auditions! We went to Melting Pot, which happens to be the Grays' favorite restaurant for birthdays!
Here is a picture of the birthday boy about to open his presents!

We are excited about my family coming down for Christmas! Only 2 more weeks of school for Jeremy. He has his Christmas concert coming up so that will be fun. I am taking off the last week of December. That will be a MUCH needed break!
